(The) Little River Band - (The) Night Owl
 
I?ve heard this both played fast with electric guitars and slow in a wonderful 
bluesy way ? and both sound great! It can be found on ?Greatest Hits? and ?Streams 
of success?.

I searched everywhere for a tab for this but couldn?t find one anywhere?. So I 
listened hard and set about creating my own. This is what I hear ? but it?s my 
first attempt and no doubt with mistakes, so please send me suggestions for 
improvements if you know better!

Verse:

Am       
There?s a bar right across the street

Em                         
He?s got a need he just can?t beat

Am                        D                      Em
Out on the floor, he shuffles his feet away

Am
He?ll get the girl ?cause he looks so fine

Em
He?s gonna win her every time

Am                            B                             Em
He knows he will, he?s dressed to kill, he?s a night owl

Chorus

C                                        Em
So move on, there?s a howl of a night owl calling

C                                          Em
To belong, she?s crying in the night

C                                            Em
Be strong, find the heart of the night owl falling

C                       B                     Em         
Stay up till dawn until the night is gone

Verse 2

Am       
What will become of the restless kind

Em                         
Where do they go when they?ve done their time

Am                                                     D      Em
Wearing their hearts out on the line for all to see

Am
Must be the gypsy in their soul

Em
They have a need to rock and roll

Am                    D                              Em
They always will, they?re out there still, they?re the night owls


Chorus

C                                        Em
So move on, there?s a howl of a night owl calling

C                                          Em
To belong, she?s crying in the night

C                                            Em
Be strong, find the heart of the night owl falling

C                       B                     Em         
Stay up till dawn until the night is gone (?till the night is gone) guitar solo..
